Backing file chains crash guest

[karaluh]

1. Shut down guest,
2. Create snapshot using current image as a backing file using qemu-img,
3. Update the guest definition to point to the new snapshot file,
4. Start guest - everything works,
5. Shut down guest again,
6. create new snapshot using the last snapshot as a backing file,
7. Update the guest definition to point to the snapshot of a snapshot,
8. Start guest - it crashes almost immediately.

Hi,
1) Can you tell us exactly which commands you are using to reproduce this issue?
2) Can you attach the XML file for the domain you are using (virsh dumpxml <domain name>)
